[0002] Cables are widely used for power and electrical transmission, and are also found in metallurgical production lines. However, these production lines typically operate in high-temperature environments, and cables are susceptible to rapid aging and damage in these environments. Therefore, appropriate cooling measures are necessary.
[0003] Currently, cable trays are typically hollowed out and equipped with air or water cooling devices to cool the cables. However, this cooling method is less than ideal, shortening the service life of the cables and increasing overall operating and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present application aims to at least to some extent solve the technical problems of unsatisfactory service life of cables and high overall use and maintenance costs. To this end, the present application provides a cable tray and sintering machine system.
[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a cable tray, comprising a bracket and a plurality of heat dissipating members disposed on the bracket.
[0006] The heat sink is provided with a through hole and a cooling cavity separated from the through hole. The through holes of the plurality of heat sinks are connected in sequence, and the cooling cavities of two adjacent heat sinks are connected. Among the plurality of connected heat sinks, the first and last cooling cavities are respectively used to connect to the cooling medium supply device and the cooling medium receiving device.
[0007] In some or certain embodiments, the heat sink is a heat-conducting metal heat sink, and the heat sink is also provided with a medium inlet and a medium outlet, both of which are connected to the cooling cavity and are respectively located at the two ends of the diagonal of the through hole. In two adjacent cooling cavities, the medium outlet of one cooling cavity is connected to the medium inlet of the other cooling cavity.
[0008] In some or certain embodiments, the cooling cavity surrounds the through hole along the circumference of the through hole.
[0009] In some or certain embodiments, the heat dissipation element includes:
[0010] The main body is provided with a through slot, and the cooling cavity is provided in the main body and spaced apart from the through slot;
[0011] The cover body is arranged on the main body and cooperates with the through groove to form the through hole.
[0012] In some or certain embodiments, the main body is U-shaped and the inner wall forms the through groove, and the cooling cavity semi-surrounds the through groove and has a U-shaped cross section.
[0013] In some or certain embodiments, the cable tray further comprises:
[0014] A plurality of hoses, both ends of each hose are respectively connected to the cooling cavities of two adjacent heat sinks.
[0015] In some or certain embodiments, the cable tray further comprises:
[0016] A plurality of flanges are provided, each flange connecting two adjacent heat sinks.
[0017] In some or certain embodiments, the bracket is further provided with a wiring groove, and the plurality of heat dissipating elements are sequentially placed in the wiring groove along an extension direction of the wiring groove.

[0023] Advantageous effects provided by one or more embodiments of the present application:
[0024] The brackets in the cable tray support multiple heat sinks and the cables or cable bundles that need to pass through them. The through-holes in the heat sinks allow cables to pass through and provide some protection. The through-holes of multiple heat sinks are connected in sequence, which can adjust the relative position and angle of different heat sinks to a certain extent, allowing cables to be laid in different locations. The heat sink is also provided with a cooling cavity separated from the through hole. The through holes of the multiple heat sinks are connected in sequence, and the cooling cavities of two adjacent heat sinks are connected. Among the multiple connected heat sinks, the first and last heat sinks are respectively used to connect to the cooling medium supply device and the cooling medium receiving device. Then, the cooling medium supply device can supply cooling medium to the cooling cavity of the heat sink, and the cooling medium in the cooling cavity can take away the heat of the heat sink. The cooling cavities of the first and last heat sinks are respectively connected to the cooling medium supply device and the cooling medium receiving device.

[0037] The present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cable tray in use in some embodiments or certain embodiments of the present application is shown, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a heat sink in some embodiments or certain embodiments of the present application is shown, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present application provides a cable tray, comprising a bracket 1 and a plurality of heat dissipating members 2 disposed on the bracket 1 .
[0039] The heat sink 2 is provided with a through hole 21 and a cooling cavity 22 separated from the through hole 21. The through holes 21 of multiple heat sinks 2 are connected in sequence, and the cooling cavities 22 of two adjacent heat sinks 2 are connected. Among the multiple connected heat sinks 2, the first and last cooling cavities 22 are respectively used to connect to the cooling medium supply device 10 and the cooling medium receiving device 20.
[0040] The bracket 1 in the cable tray supports multiple heat sinks 2 and the cables 100 or cable bundles that need to pass through the heat sinks 2. The through holes 21 of the heat sinks 2 are used to pass the cables 100 and provide some protection for the cables 100. The through holes 21 of multiple heat sinks 2 are connected in sequence, which can adjust the relative positions and angles of different heat sinks 2 to a certain extent, thereby enabling the laying of cables 100 in different locations. The heat sink 2 is also provided with a cooling cavity 22 separated from the through hole 21. The through holes 21 of multiple heat sinks 2 are connected in sequence, and the cooling cavities 22 of two adjacent heat sinks 2 are connected. Among the multiple connected heat sinks 2, the first and last heat sinks 2 are respectively used to connect to the cooling medium supply device 10 and the cooling medium receiving device 20. Then, the cooling medium supply device 10 can supply cooling medium to the cooling cavity 22 of the heat sink 2. The cooling medium in the cooling cavity 22 can take away the heat of the heat sink 2. The cooling cavity 22 of the first and last heat sinks 2 are respectively connected to the cooling medium supply device 10 and the cooling medium receiving device 20. The cooling medium can take away the heat of the heat sinks 2 corresponding to the multiple cooling cavities 22 in sequence, so that the heat sink 2 passing through the cable 100 can maintain a low temperature, which can reduce the high temperature and radiation effects on the cable 100 or the cable bundle. The isolated and superimposed heat dissipation can effectively reduce the high temperature effects on the cable 100 or the cable bundle, effectively improve the service life of the cable 100, and finally enter the cooling medium receiving device 20. Moreover, the overall structure of the cable tray is simple, and the corresponding use and maintenance costs are relatively low, which can to a certain extent solve the technical problems of the less than ideal service life of the cable 100 and the high overall use and maintenance costs.
[0041] In some or certain embodiments, the heat sink 2 is a heat-conducting metal heat sink 2, and the heat sink 2 is also provided with a medium inlet 25 and a medium outlet 26, both of which are connected to the cooling cavity 22 and are respectively located at the two ends of the diagonal of the through hole 21. In two adjacent cooling cavities 22, the medium outlet 26 of one cooling cavity 22 is connected to the medium inlet 25 of the other cooling cavity 22.
[0042] Heat sink 2 is a heat-conducting metal heat sink 2 with excellent heat dissipation. It can be made of common materials such as steel or alloys, making it easy to manufacture and maintain. The media inlet 25 and outlet 26 provided by each heat sink 2 connect to the cooling cavity 22 and can be used to connect to the cooling cavity 22 of an adjacent heat sink 2. Positioning the media inlet 25 and outlet 26 of each heat sink 2 at opposite diagonals of the through-hole 21 increases the flow of the cooling medium within the cooling cavity 22, thereby enhancing heat dissipation.
[0043] It should be noted that the diagonal line of the through hole 21 in the present application is the line connecting the two points with the largest distance between the two ends of the through hole 21 .
[0044] In some or certain embodiments, the medium inlet 25 and the medium outlet 26 of each heat sink 2 may also be respectively arranged near the two ends of the through hole 21, thereby ensuring a more effective heat dissipation effect.
[0045] In some or certain embodiments, the cooling cavity 22 surrounds the through hole 21 along the circumference of the through hole 21. The cooling cavity 22 surrounds the through hole 21 along the circumference of the through hole 21, so that the cooling medium in the cooling cavity 22 can effectively remove the heat of the heat sink 2, so that the cable 100 in the through hole 21 operates at a normal temperature, which can effectively extend the service life of the cable 100 in a high temperature environment.
[0046] In some or certain embodiments, the heat sink 2 may be cylindrical or have a frame-shaped cross section. The heat sink 2 may be integrally formed, and the medium inlet 25 and the medium outlet 26 may be obtained by machining or other methods. This facilitates preparation, has high replaceability, and has low operating and maintenance costs.
[0047] Figure 3 It shows a schematic structural diagram of another heat sink 2 in some embodiments or certain embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows a top view of another heat sink 2 in some embodiments or certain embodiments of the present application, with reference to FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some or certain embodiments, the heat sink 2 may also include:
[0048] The main body 23 defines a through slot 231 . The cooling chamber 22 is disposed in the main body 23 and spaced apart from the through slot 231 .
[0049] The cover 24 is disposed on the main body 23 and cooperates with the through slot 231 to form the through hole 21 .
[0050] The heat sink 2 is a split structure including a main body 23 and a cover, which facilitates adjustment of the cable 100 when the cable 100 is laid and routed.
[0051] In some or certain embodiments, the main body 23 is U-shaped and has a through-slot 231 formed on its inner wall. The cooling cavity 22 semi-encloses the through-slot 231 and has a U-shaped cross-section. This facilitates the laying of the cable 100 while effectively improving heat dissipation, thereby reducing the effects of high temperatures on the cable 100 and effectively extending the service life of the cable 100 in high-temperature environments.
[0052] In some or certain embodiments, the cover 24 may be supported on the main body 23 or the cover 24 and the main body 23 may be detachably connected. The arrangement may be adjusted according to the location and space where the cable 100 is to be laid.
[0053] Figure 5 Schematic diagram showing the connection between two adjacent heat sinks 2 in some embodiments or certain embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 5 In some or certain embodiments, the cable tray further comprises:
[0054] Multiple hoses 3 are provided, with both ends of each hose 3 connected to the cooling cavities 22 of two adjacent heat sinks 2. Using hoses 3 to connect the cooling cavities 22 of two adjacent heat sinks 2 facilitates implementation and position adjustment, making the distance between the two adjacent heat sinks 2 closer, thereby ensuring isolation and cooling effects on the cable 100.
[0055] It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 5 For ease of understanding, a gap is added between two adjacent heat sinks 2 to illustrate the hose 3. When the two heat sinks 2 are actually connected through software, the gap between the two heat sinks 2 can be close to zero, or only a space is left that will not press on the hose 3.
[0056] In some or certain embodiments, the cable tray further includes a plurality of flanges 4, each flange 4 connecting two adjacent heat sinks 2. This helps to reduce the distance between the two heat sinks 2 and reduces the impact of high temperature on the cable 100.
[0057] It should be noted that the flange 4 and the heat sink 2 can be connected by fasteners such as bolts and nuts.
[0058] In some or certain embodiments, if the bracket 1 is placed on the ground and the cross-section of the heat sink 2 is a square frame, the heat sink 2 can be placed flat on the bracket 1 with the ends of the two heat sinks 2 touching each other. Alternatively, the medium outlet 26 of one heat sink 2 can be directly connected to the medium inlet of another heat sink 2 without the hose 3. This can also achieve an effective cooling effect.
[0059] In some or certain embodiments, the multiple heat sinks 2 included in the cable tray may have the same size and scale. At least two of the multiple heat sinks 2 included in the cable tray may have different cross-sectional shapes. Appropriate heat sinks 2 can be selected based on the different locations where the cables 100 are laid and the heat dissipation requirements.
[0060] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of a bracket 1 in some embodiments or certain embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 6 In some or certain embodiments, the bracket 1 further includes a wiring trough 11, into which multiple heat sinks 2 are sequentially placed along the extension direction of the wiring trough 11. The wiring trough 11 can limit and protect cables 100 of the same size and scale, thereby improving the support and position limiting effect of the heat sinks 2 and ensuring stable use of the cables 100.
[0061] In some or certain embodiments, the cross-section of the wiring trough 11 can be set according to the cross-sectional shape of the heat sink 2, so as to provide a better supporting and positioning effect for the heat sink 2.
[0062] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a sintering machine system. The structural diagram of the sintering machine system can be referred to Figure 1 , the sintering machine system may include:
[0063] The cooling medium supply device 10 is provided with a medium output end 101 .
[0064] As in the previous cable tray, the cooling cavity 22 of a heat sink 2 is connected to the medium output end 101 .
[0065] The sintering machine is configured as a cooling medium receiving device 20 .
[0066] The structure of the cable tray and its corresponding technical effects can be found in the previous section and will not be further elaborated here. The sintering machine is configured as a cooling medium receiving device 20. The heated cooling medium, after removing heat from the heat sink 2, can be re-used in the sintering machine, enabling secondary use of the cooling medium and reducing resource waste.
[0067] In some or certain embodiments, the cooling medium flowing from the heat sink 2 into the sintering machine may be clean water or warm water, and the cooling medium supply device 10 may be a water pump or water supply equipment in the environment where the sintering machine is located, and the cooling medium can be used to add water to the sintering process.
[0068] In some or certain embodiments, at least two cable trays are used to pass through the same cable bundle. Sintering machines are typically large, and the cables 100 required are typically also long. Passing the cables 100 or cable bundle through at least two cable trays facilitates adjusting the routing angle of the cables 100 or cable bundle. Furthermore, each cable tray can receive cooling medium from a corresponding cooling supply device, resulting in a flexible setup and improved cooling effects.
[0069] In some or certain embodiments, in a sintering machine system, different cables 100 or cable bundles involved in the power distribution or transmission of the sintering machine can also be configured with multiple cable trays, which is more flexible and helps to control the overall cooling effect.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
